Modification of Malaysian dolomite using mechanochemical treatment via different media for oil palm fronds gasification

Exploitation of biomass wastes gives new hopes in the exploration of clean alternative fuel source such as hydrogen energy. The application of catalysts plays a major role in the process by enhancing the production of hydrogen via reformation and tar cracking reaction. However, certain drawbacks suc...
